Sunday Bridges: bridge to Coast Guard Island

I finally found another bridge.  This one goes from Union Point to the Coast Guard Island that sits in the middle of the estuary.  The rubble and tracks are detritus from a long abandoned warehouse loading dock.  I'm surprised no one has dug up the metal tracks to recycle them.  There's money in them thar rubble.  Check out «Louis'» meme for more bridge shots.

    Maybe he rails are a bit to rusty to reuse - they do add interest to the photo though.

    It's too bad someone doesn't "clean all that up". It would make the estuary look a lot better. Does Coast Guard Island have a Coast Guard station there? Mickie :)

    Cool shot.

    I always thought bridge support like there were kinda funky. It looks like the bridge is being held up by match sticks, LOL.

    Lovely curve to the bridge. I like combo of the modern against the old and abandoned. A great find.

    Too bad they don't keep the area a bit cleaner. A nice utilitarian bridge in any case!
